Fall

     It is beginning to look like fall here in Sacramento! As a girl who grew up by the ocean in Southern California this whole fall and winter thing is a new and big deal for me. Back home we have summer basically year round with a few cold days here and there but it is not too bad; the leaves do not really change and at Christmas we are still in shorts and dresses.
     This last week I really began to notice the changing of the trees here even though the weather is not really changing. We are still having 70s and 80 degree days here (which is driving the locals nuts) but you wont find me complaining. The colors of the trees that I can see on my balcony and even on campus stop me in my tracks sometimes and I am overwhelmed by the beauty of it. Needless to say, so far I am enjoying Fall here in Sacramento; if you ask me in a few weeks when the weather gets cold (if it ever will get cold) I might have a different answer :) But for now Fall, I am loving the beauty that you bring!
